BIG BUSINESS
An item in the Graduate Magazine furnishes the following information:
"The 1930 Jayhawk, the annual publication, made a profit of $2,195, the largest in the history of the book's publication. The addition it and other recent Jayhawks have made to the Jayhawk reserve fund have made the reserve run $\infty$ high that the Jayhawk advisory board has started giving money, $200 at a time, to the University Student Loan fund."
The student loan fund no doubt appreciates the money, but why should the Joychawker continue to take money from students with the right hand, figuratively speaking, and then dispense it generously with the left? The really charitable thing to do would be to reduce the original cost of the book to students. As it is, the price is unusually high, and the average student pocket-book groans at the additional expense of organization assessments.
It has already been remarked in these columns that the Jayhawker is far too expensive for the average student. When its distribution takes place Thursday, treasure well the bulky yume. In it, if you are just an average student belonging to an average number of organizations, you have a personal investment of something like $15. Fifteen of your individual hard earned sheckles helped make the Jayhawker what it is. But that is not all you can think of as you log the heavy book homeward. Your $15, and all the other dollars on the campus, have helped to build up a reserve from which our big business experts have condescendingly designed to give $000 checks to the Student Loan Fund. The cause is a good one, but more students would like a little help before their finances are so reduced that they have to apply to the student loan found for help.
As it is managed, the Jayhawker our big business on the campus, the one which flourishes in spite of depression and flat student pursues. No one disputes the excellency of the annual, but no matter how good it is, the fact remains that it costs too much money.
TO THE SENIORS
Headline in last night's Fashion Skits
<“Bathing Suit Slips.”
Only a few more days and you will he classed among the "grads," the alumni, the old boys, or what have you. But there is a little service you owe to this university before you leave—or at any rate to the class of 1931.
This budgeting and planning of senior activities is no small matter. A committee has been working faithfully in co-operation with the faculty to get this well-oiled system on as efficient a basis as possible.
But here are a few pointers on what you can do as a member of this class to assist in the great and worthwhile job of getting yourself graduated from the noble portals.
1. Watch all announcements and instructions which appear in this paper concerning the activities of the senior class.
2. Attend the class meetings and don't leave it to the other fellow to tell you what happened there. Go yourself.
3. Pay all your fees and dues promptly. They won't grow any less
by waiting and it will help a lot if they are in on time.
5. And lastly don't chew gum in your cap and gown.
SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY
We might well question whether patriotism which is taught in our school is in any respects a violation of the sacred rights of democracy. We teach materialism of a type that leads directly into imperialism.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
In the name of democracy, our country has invaded the rights of lesser nations; we have destroyed the culture of weaker peoples in order to impose upon them our own. While the people were impassive and disinterested, the leaders who wished to forward their own selfish aims have exhorted the multitudes into a state of panic or war so that they might amass great fora tunes, and force themselves into positions of power.
There may be something to be said for this grazing policy of exhortation of peoples if the Caucasian race can prove that its civilization has made for the ultimate good and happiness of these conquered societies, but there is little reason to suppose that this is the case.
Discussions of which the "backward" people never dreamed have come among them. Their cultures, their religions, and their peace of mind has been snatched from them.
There is little value in talk of peace so long as we are taught that democracy cannot err, that love of one's country is greater than love of humanity. In place of these false decries it would be better to teach that a nation and a democracy can and does err often; that love of mankind is the noblest love of all; and that life, whether one's own or that of a different race is valuable, too valuable, to be sacrificed on the altar of imperialism.
THE INFLUENTIAL BILLBOARE
The billboard is one of the most picturesque of American institutions, and one which shows the heights to which our modern genius can arise. On the billboard are passed in review the latest achievements in every profitable field known to American man—the utmost in accessories, automobiles and hair ionic, cigarettes, deferred payment furniture, vacuum cleaners, slogs, advertising space, and radio equipment. Moreover, it is the billboard that furnishes us with our national models. It is patent to the least reflective mind that before the first shaven, ruddy young collegiate appeared in the outdoor cigarette aisle there was nothing like him in the United States. But where can one go now that one does not find his exact doubles clustered in front of store drug? And old fat men have improved immensely in complexion and temper, since the moon faced type has been favored for tobacco advertisements.
The Frick-Robinson trial is another example in which the pitiless glare of newspaper publicity was used to expose the morbid details of the 'eternal triangle'. Why this trial concerning marital tribulations of a comparative family should have been printed in such detail is hard to understand.
FRICK-ROBINSON TRIAL
As far as the newspapers are concerned the trial and its attendant revelations was merely 'good copy' with a large amount of reader interest. To the people encountered such publicity as was given the trial was only a dreadful reminder of a broken home, misplaced confidence and infidelity.
Aside from the fact that the newspapers printed objectionable details of the case, there is the possibility that they exposed the innocent parties involved with so much unfavorable publicity that they will bear a stigma throughout the rest of their lives.
The primary function of a newspaper is to print all the news that is fit to print. When that news causes to be of public interest and contains features entirely irrelevant and unnecessary as well as objectionable, the newspapers should exercise their prerogative of censorship. In the Frick-Robinson case it is apparent that the newspapers 'failed to do this.'
Who among the students has not sighed over the lack of entertainment to be found in Lawrence on Sunday? Is it any wonder that Sunday finds the highways thick with student-filled cars seeking amusement in nearby towns? Sunday in Lawrence means no shows, no dances, no dancing in the houses (according to rules), not even tea dances. Though many believe that the student spends his Sundays preparing the lessons for Monday, it must be admitted that a large number do not get out their books until late Sunday. And with the increasing number of student-owned cars, more and more bored students find their way to shows and entertainments in other cities. Of course the innovation of shows and tea dances in Lawrence would not completely stop the trek to other cities, but it seems likely that it would stem he flow to a mere dribble.
SUNDAY ENTERTAINMENT
NOOON LUNCHEON FORUMS
An opportunity to hear speakers on controversial subjects is furnished by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. in the neon forum program which has already been completed and is deserving of support, but it has one major lack. The speakers, this year at least, were limited to those who discussed religious topics. It is perfectly true that most of them departed from the regular conservative view of the questions, but they were still primarily interested in their religious aspects.
Of the five speakers they sponsored, four were either ministers, missionaries or instructors in religious schools. The other speaker, Pewsman, spoke on one phase of our industrial system. The patrons of the moon forum lunches are composed of a few interested faculty members, students who are interested in sociology and members of journalism classes.
The larger the scope of the noon forums the larger the attendance will be. If, in addition to the discussions on religion, the organizations would require speakers from other fields of interest, they would be assured of more hearty student support. If the two organizations feel that the forums should be devoted to religion subjects because their interests are fundamentally in that field, they are overlooking an important point. Speakers on questions of sociology, criminology, economics and industry would be more interesting than those who deal with religious topics.
FREEDOM FOR FOLLY
Expression can not be free, some people say, because when it is, wild thoughts are expressed, unstable doctrines are preached, and unwholesome ideals supported. Unfortunately that is true, to some extent at least.
Freedom of the press and of speech allows for the expression of ideas that are often better left unuttered. But it also allows for the fearless expression of truth, and so the good of the principle far outweighs the bad.
GUM-CHEWERS
We need not be afraid of the uploy as long as our system of democracy permits the expression of thoughts which have the element of truth. Truth may not be victorious in each individual clash with error, but eventually it will win. That has been proven in the past.
The fear of freedom of the press because of some of its evils is a bogy, as William Allen White pointed out in a Pulitzer Prize editorial. "But if there is freedom, folly will die of its own poison, and the wisdom will survive. That is the history of the race. It is the proof of man's kinship with God."
A young man from an eastern college recently was a guest on the campus and of course it being a Saturday night he was taken to the variness. Now he wasn't what you would call fastidious or too awful nice but he was a well bred young man who was accustomed to a certain amount of cultural, evidences in those among whom he found himself.
there are other places where gum might be excused a little but when it comes to a dance-one third number," *Along the Midway,* *Kamakanda Ikri*, famed Kikuchi in half and bent an iron bar around one wrist with his bare hands." And "the vegetables," in the words of George Calhoun, who as nicker as well
His remark later in the evening was, "Does everyone chew gum on this hill?" There are some cranks who scream about gum in order to display their superior quality, Oh, they just can't bear to see anyone chew gum in public! Well, we'll have to admit that at a football game there is some outlet for the pent up vigor even if it just is vertical exercise of the jaw. Then
Just think of the awful things that might happen to a gum-chewing man at a vursity. When he bends down tenderly over that head of golden curds and starts to whisper some sweet nothing . . . . keeplink, and there goes his gum right in the yellow curls. "There is such a thing as offending by merely keeping up a clap chap sound, but word of all is the man who unconsciously keeps time with the music. It's a real gum-chewer who can do that." The above has been written in the masculine gender but it applies just the same to the feminine chew--only she ought to be bung if she attends a dance with a wad of gum between her
MATRIMONIAL STATISTICS
Cheering news for wary bachelors is contained in the results of an investigation of Rita S. Halle on marriage and divorce in colleges. Those who fear for the success of their matrimonial ventures would do well to marry college classmates, the results show.
The divorce rate in the state of Kansas is one to every five marriages, and among University graduates the happy ratio is only one to every one hundred. Good news at last! With this information and spring just around the corner, the matrimonial market ought to pick up rapidly. Smart college men need no longer fear the dangers of the divorce court and subsequent alimony. Their chances are one hundred to one for remaining happily married.
The results are a pleasant surprise, as the institution as a matrimonial bureau. It has been said often and many times in cleverly couched terms that most women come to college to get a man, and if that accusation is correct, we have efficiently fulfured our purpose. The University might even advertise the institution as a matrimonial agency that guarantees a happy marriage ninety-five cases out of a hundred.
At the Plav
By Sara W. Hobbsbop
Fraser theater was filled to the brim last night for the annual East-West revue by the Cosmopolitan club.
The purpose of the evening, as expressed by John Shivley, president of the Jewish Institute in New York, has Anil an insight into the culture of other countries, as shown in their music and art.
"The important thing is not the East-West revue," he said, "but the fact that we have at KU. a group of American artists and workmates, and work together. We don't pretend that we are all alike in our outlook on life. The American looks at the British and the Hawaiian differently from the Indian. But we feel that in learning to understand one another, we are making a small contribution toward the American."
Newman Jeffrey, as master of ceremonies, introduced the different acts. The first act was a joke about a Scottish man and a fly, told first in English to two Americans, and then by other members of the family in separate costumes. "On the Mea" was an unusual feature—a real Pueblo Indian dance by two students from Texas—that they performed for hundreds of years. The music was furnished by a painted tomtom, and the dancers, in splendid headscarf and 'festival dress,' swum guards filled with
whole company with a rope tied around his neck. An "Oriental Hercules," in truth.
The finale was performed by the whole Compellent group singing their own songs, but a comic relief here, in fact he and his jokers appeared almost anywhere dur-
"South of the Rio Grande" followed, a Spanish scene in which Jane Byrn and Winifred Stihlw performed as if they were members of the were accommodated by zeremans.
Entire-acult specialties were provided by Spanish musicians in the persons of Francisco García, Manuel Kuman City, and by Abraham Asis, Pastor Easeh, Siri Hastie, George Wonwan, Harry Hamachi, and Bernard Lacombe. He used the mandolin, and the steel guitar. The three latter entertainers demonstrated their ability to play much merriment was produced by pantomime explanation of the origin of the dances of different countries by Pablo Garcia.
Our Contemporaries
"The Defiance of Pele," the dramatization of an Hawaiian folk tale, hold how a princess furries her people from a slave village in "Somewhere Near Taloya" was a jujitsu exhibition by Yanuro Yamoto and Lloyd Griggs "such as not take place in West Hills." Palms but no grips, were shown by the performers.

He also let another friend crush a big rock from under his palm and held it enough, he staged a tug of war for the

Charging "professoring" in the University of Pittsburgh cafeteria, several students have brought charges against them. High costs of prumes as an example.

"MEN ARE STRANGE CREATURES"
What an unmericful twitting they give women about their bargains! And how they love to harp on "vain as a woman" when wives and daughters are successful in looking their best! . . . But to hear them at the office is another story. It's "my wife this, and my wife that"—with evident pride.
Vain? There's nothing quite so vain as men who have attractive and accomplished wives. How their wives manage the home—how they plan and buy—is a source of constant wonderment and appreciation. Nothing pleases a man more than the knowledge that his wife is a shrewd manager and a deft hostess.
But what is so amazing to men is commonplace to women. Women know that shrewd management and good taste are not matters of chance, but qualities to be cultivated—personal qualities that depend upon a thorough knowledge of style and value.
It is not difficult for them to obtain this knowledge. Every day they read the advertisements in the newspapers—printed statements of style, price and value. Statements that are sponsored and signed by companies known for business integrity and style authority.
Guided by this knowledge, women choose wisely—and receive for their money the highest in quality, the utmost in style.
